Terrace
12 July 2025
Acrylic on hardboard
34 x 28 (86.4 x 71.1 cm)
Someone I flew with showed me a video of a rocket launch and I couldn't believe how awesome it looked. When you see somethings, they just stick in your head. I tried my version of it here. Pretty happy with it. Might have used a bit more orange than pink on the light side, but I think it conveys the night sky. Was a bit hesitant with the plume but very happy with it. I also tried using an airbrush for the sky but it wasn't covering as well as I expected. I think it was more an issue of the paint than the airbrush. Terrace comes from the idea that the clouds make something of a platform in the sky to view the rocket.
I only took three stage shots so I skipped the gif. You can see some of the airbrushing in the center pic.
Terrace in the frame it was cut to fit.
